What owners wrote
Vehicle was destroyed by electrical fire on December 21, 2022. It caught on fire after ‘SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM’ warning light displayed.
When driving stablitrac, ABS, all wheel drive fails giving alarms on the dash. SUV starts so shutter and loose acceleration. If the car is stopped and shut off it will clear. When you start driving again it will randomly do it again, such as when you turn a corner or pull out to pass someone. I has happened a couple of times. The last time was worse. I almost got hit because it lost power. Looking on line it looks like the same problem that other GMC vehicles have a history of.
